Consolation new rating in my head

Last year I had an operation on my foot to remove a broken bone. I started walking and needed comfortable shoes. They fit well and feel good on my foot.

Pros
  • Sneakers look good, suitable for training.
Cons
  • The protector cut through the groin, resulting in a foot injury. Poorly made shoes.

I don't support my opinion

I run about 60 miles a week. These shoes were dead after 7 days. The cushion and support are gone. If you just have them laying around, buy them, but not if you actually walk/run/need them for exercise.

Pros
  • The best comfort, support and style of any running shoe on the market. Don't buy anything but ASICS!!!
Cons
  • Some users may not like the design

Defective shoes are the best in my rating

The shoes I bought and wore very little suddenly showed an abnormal bulge on the inside of each shoe. Because of these missing shoes, they look very bad. I would like to know if it is possible to return them and exchange them for the same or different ones. Thank you in advance for your attention to this comment. I'll wait for your answer.

Pros
  • Comfortable big leg rest
Cons
  • Not suitable for cross-country or cross-country running

My secret ..!! in my rating

When I find sneakers that I like, I sometimes buy multiple pairs because they're never available when I want them again. I have three pairs of these shoes waiting to be released when the ones I'm currently wearing have worn out.

Pros
  • Bought these for my son who is a middle school cross country runner and loves the shoes.
Cons
  • May be too heavy for professional runners

Comfortable, great shoes

These are great shoes and very comfortable. For a tall person, it's great to have shoes that don't chafe and don't cost a fortune. So I bought two pairs while they were in stock. I would recommend this shoe to any active person.

Pros
  • Go for a walk every day. Helped with fatigue. Bought 3 pairs
Cons
  • Shoes began to fall apart in the fingers

Toe box too small for me

First pair of ASICS so I ordered my normal size 12 and found the toe box is small and had to stretch that area (water freezer bag) as I've worn it for several days and wasn't sure if they were refundable. I usually wear a size 12 in New Balance and other athletic shoes and a size 11.5 in FootJoy golf shoes, so this SMALLER sock size came as a surprise (especially since another reviewer specifically noted that the toe box is larger and fits great. Would one give 5 stars, if the toe box was more…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Faulty

Great shoes from a great shoe company

The weight of my shoes (size 15) is very light and very comfortable. I've been wearing ASICS for a long time, but this time I didn't have the money for a Kayano, so I bought a cheaper model. Incredible shoes despite the lower price. Very happy with them, even at my running weight of 245 I have plenty of padding and comfort. Fits well.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Expensive

I go back to Asics like .

. like Japanese perfectionists. I try all models, cheap and expensive. The cheap ones don't have as much support as these, the toe box has no support, a cheap insole or expensive ones that are so flat I feel like I'll lose them while running. Using a style for 15 years. since all the sellers have run out, i'm trying out different models and asking asics why? rhetorical question. Why fix something that isn't broken?

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Finger box too small for me

First pair of ASICS so I ordered my normal size 12 and I found the finger box to small and I had to stretch that area (freezer bag of water). ) as I wore them for a few days and wasn't sure if they could be exchanged. I usually wear a size 12 in New Balance and other athletic shoes and a size 11.5 in FootJoy golf shoes, so this SMALLER sock size came as a surprise (especially since another reviewer specifically noted that the toe box is larger and fits great. Would one give 5 stars, if the toe…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Long wait

Not as comfortable as I thought from the reviews.

Considering the price, I'm quite disappointed with this shoe. I bought these to use as new running shoes (I run for fun and do 5k, 10k and half marathons a few times a year) based on LOTS of online reviews from various websites I've been to trusted the past. Before running in them I decided to wear them for a couple of fairly long walks (4-5 miles each) and then a day to work (I work on my feet all day, walk about 6-7 miles per day, plus many flights of stairs). I noticed a little soreness on…

Pros
  • Stable results in testing
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
